The company this week outsourced its system to a third party firm approved by privacy watchdog group TRUSTe to audit Hotmail's privacy. The move was made to ensure Hotmail information stays private, said Tom Pilla, Microsoft spokesman.
"The initial issue has been resolved, but we're investigating it completely," Pilla said. "Our swift response to the initial hack and our voluntarily engaging in a third party audit is further evidence of Microsoft's commitment to privacy. Our goal is to ensure that our products and services are protected, and that we provide total quality to our customers."
